You cannot have an environment in the middle of a line.

Yes, this particular change would be harmless. But you don't need
`org-edit-special' to change that. Moreover you cannot allow this
without allowing any change. So, let's not do that.

No, it's not. It is a part of an Org document that happens to be handled
by LaTeX. IOW, there is context around the object that doesn't belong to
LaTeX.

`org-edit-special' focuses on contents, not structure. For example, you
cannot change the number of the footnote definition being edited from
`org-edit-special'. This should also be the case here.
